The *clock spring* has failed! That's the device that transfers all of the steering wheel controls circuits down to the steering column. Not a recommended diy repair.

I thought that's what it was too and I replaced it with a new Mopar clock spring and nothing has changed...I'm gonna check all the switches on the steering wheel again and wiring ....is there a relay for the clock spring do you know? ..please amy other idea are welcomed

The only thing I can advise is *TESTING* each and every fuse on the vehicle. Clock spring can be very easily damaged if not installed correctly! I do not think all those controls themselves have failed at once. Good luck!

I agree and I installed it correctly..I am an aircraft mechanic and was sure not you damage it during the R&R...I'll check everything again and put a meter on all my connections

Possibly a problem in the fuse box under hood - the reason for TESTING all fuses is to see if any are receiving power as needed or not - this is best done with a test light - key on. I always test every fuse I can find .. You’d be surprised at the number of vehicles I’ve fixed that way - - most of the customers said they had already ‘checked’ the fuses, that can’t be what it is. Wiggle testing wiring harness may help. Just some random thoughts - since I can’t put hands on the vehicle.
